Sakura cookies 桜花饼& Giveaway, and a warm bloggers gathering

I was so happy when i spotted this preserved sakura (桜花漬（おうかづけ), selling in a small shop in Kyoto (will provide where to get these in the later post, no time to sort out the information)..One of the item i was planning to use this beautiful sakura is to make a swiss roll. But when i saw dailydelicious posted her beautiful Sakura cookies, i just could not wait and immediateky try it out..I also brought this cookie to a bloggers gathering yesterday, they all just love it.

8. Place on a prepared baking sheet, and put Preserved cherry blossoms on each cookie.

9. Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C.10. Put the cookies into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown, sprinkle with superfine sugar immediately.11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes then let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Yesterday i just attended another bloggers gathering. Why this time i said this is a warm gathering, because i feel so warm and feel so good when chatting with them. Even that was my 1st time meeting them, but like i know them long ago. Our gathering started with enjoying nice dessert in the shopping mall that connected to the hotel. Helena from Perth, five of them (Eileen, Angie, Mandy, Joceline and Casey) came from Penang, MYME and Vernice all the way from Singapore and Shan from Puchong..After taken dessert, we were heading to the hotel room as Helena taught us on how to make decoupage. After this, we were out for shopping a while and took dinner in one Chinese restaurant..After dinner, we went back to the hotel room to celebrate Mandy's Birthday. Too bad, I have to leave early because next day is schooling day and rest of them continue to have fun..

See the end result, all these plates look so beautiful after added the flowers and fruits print..My plate is the one round with orange flowers
